We’re re-releasing this episode from series 1 to bump it up for all you career changers out there – here’s a really clear explanation of the SQE and how it might be able to help you. Dr Victoria Roper, Associate Professor at Northumbria University and Chair of the National Education and Training Committee of the Law Society, clarifies the finer points of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (or SQE) which was introduced in September 2021 and will eventually replace the current Legal Practice Course (LPC). She answers crucial questions like – How much will it cost? What happens if I fail an exam? And what to do if you’ve already started the LPC?
